That's very weird, unless you registered with Google/Facebook/Windows Live? I have no idea how Invision Power Board does these things...

I might have fixed the message system, as for posting - you should be able to post in any thread and you should be able to start new threads almost anywhere. We use the shoutbox at the bottom of the homepage to chat (or private messaging).

Scams - submit @t scammed.by is the address to send them to (replace " @t " with @, I just don't want spambots finding that address)
